    What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
    v4.2.2 Developer


    My extra fields don't show in the checkout process step 6, when we preview the ad

    I've tried to recreate what you're experiencing with a v4.2.2 installation but have not been able to.

    If the extra fields are showing up after the checkout process is completed, they should be showing up during checkout because the preview feature simply include the viewlisting file.

    i use that to display extra field in my viewlisting : {get_extra_field id=$view fid=48}

    but when we preview the ad in the checkout process that don't seem to display the field...

    I can confirm that I am experiencing the exact same issues.

    As an example {get_extra_field id=$view fid=1} shows fine when the ad is completed/posted, but any Extra Fields I have in the viewlisting.tpl do not show in the check out process when previewing the ad. During some testing, I changed the "Field Seen In Listing" to both "No" and "Yes" from the Admin with no difference in results.

    Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

    During checkout, one of the first steps is to choose a category for the listing. Once the category is chosen, the script knows which extra fields to display during the next step. The lister adds information relevant to each of the extra fields and continues to step through the checkout process. On the last page, the listing preview is displayed with the information the lister recently entered. F2, I just created a test listing on your site and all extra listing input fields were correctly displayed in step3 and during the listing preview.

    Keep in mind - the get_extra_field plugin is intended for use in the showlistings and viewlistings pages. These pages are lists of listings and not one specific listing.

    By the way - your site looks awesome.

    Hi Blair, Thanks for having a look.

    If the email address you used to post the test ad was correct, I sent you an email in regards to a different site I am working on that is experiencing the problem. The site you tested is not using the plugin {get_extra_field id=$view fid=1}.

    Are you saying that I shouldn't expect to see them in the preview?

    I ran the same scenario through the default template as well with the same results.

    Thanks for the compliment...couldn't do it without you guys

    I'm pretty sure $view isn't available in step 7 of checkout. Its been a while since I looked to see everything that is assigned there, but I believe that you need to be using $listingid instead.

    Code:
    {get_extra_field id=$listingid fid=1}

    100% ... Thanks John this works!

    I have created a custom preview template with the new code and all works.
